Hey all,

Vp here, haven't been detecting much at all lately been super busy with work and all the fields are now planted, but i got out this morning to an old park here in town

i made my way to the oldest part of the park and hit it for about 3 hours - i figured i would dig everything 'cause it's been so long since i've touched the detector and i just felt like finding SOMETHING - well i found a pocket full of clad and these two silver rings, both were about 4 inches deep

i wasn't getting many deep signals at all which is very weird, i had my sensitivity on auto but when i looked at the reading it was only at 15 !! i looked around and their were some big power lines overhead which had to be the problem ... i turned it to manual and jacked it up to 25, about 10 minutes later right beneath and old tree on the side of a hill i got a perfect 13 47 signal - dug down about 8 inches and pulled the barber half !

had to call it quits right after that to get to a picnic but defainetly a fun hunt

thanks for looking

Vp


ps: i still have not ever found a barber dime ! is it weird that i've found more barber halfs (3) than i have barber dimes ???!!!

Great to see you back :thumbsup: and with a sweet Barber Half in tow :)

Take care & have a great summer :icon_sunny:
 
Nice Barber!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Oh man, that must have been an awesome feeling after digging clad for three hours. I've only found one barber dime - no quarters or halves.

After reading this, I'm going to try switching to manual on the E-Trac much more often.

Hey Kevin,

That Barber half is a nice one! Keep hitting that park hard! That Barber dime is waiting there for you!

We got out today, but nothing great was found. Kirk got a "fatboy" Indian Head, and the rest of us just dug relics!
